Noah Tryon

Research points

There is at least one other Noah Tryon who was a contemporary of this Noah Tryon living in or near Glastonbury. The other Noah married a Fanny Smith in Glastonbury in 1805. However, the birth records of the children of this Noah, the evidence of the 1860 census and the fact that his wife Elizabeth outlived him, is named in his will and is buried with him and shares with him a monument in the graveyard points to the fact that Fanny Smith married a different Noah Tryon. The fact that Fanny Smith Tryon is buried near this Noah Tryon does not signify that she was his wife.
